i love you enough
to want to love myself too
I ****** all the love I can get
out of myself
and I poured it into the depths
of your soul.
I decided that only loving you
would put my love
to good use
because I am woman of scars
and traumatic memories
when I heard my
heartbeat pound in my ears
slipping away from reality
and when the pages of the
only heart-filled words
I can ever say
were smeared with my
blood.
reminding me that the only
love that I'd feel
was the love deep within me
slipping away from
my grasp
only to fill your empty
spaces that I couldn't
do for myself.
